"The book [My Life – Starting Now] has really helped us to understand that the HIV epidemic is fuelled by stigma, by hate, by misinformation, by ignorance and indifference. As a faith community we can do something about these things. ... The method of shared experience, of dialogue and discussion, of learning through games and practical examples rather than the chalk-talk approach of the classroom is very good. "
